Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Mature Themes (2012)

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are to release their new album, "Mature Themes", on August 21st, the band's second for 4AD and the official follow-up to 2010's breakthrough Before Today.

Ariel recently talked to David Bevan at SPIN.com about Mature Themes: "Sonically, it's comparable (to Before Today)," Pink says of the new work. "There are definitely not any links to my lo-fi origins. It's so diverse but so different from anything I've done before. In a sense, it's really the record I wanted to make back when I made Before Today, but couldn't due to pressures and different factors. We had time to let our hair down and try new things."
